At this point Black wished to make a few consecutive moves as he had a train to catch. He kindly offered a draw although two pieces ahead.

The logical follow-up to his previous move would have been 17... Kg8 when the pin on the h-file seems to give White problems justifying his sacrifice.

21... Qg5 immediately was better. Although after 22. Bxg6+ Qxg6 23. Qxa5 White is winning, at least Black still has the Queens on the board.

A blunder, removing retreat squares for the Rook on e3.
22... Nf5
White presumably anticipated 22... Ng6 when 23. g3 would have given him a solid defensive position.

and White resigned in a few moves.
